Mr Suthep only stayed briefly at Pathumwan before heading on to an equally large crowd at Ratchaprasong intersection passing another crowd in front of National Police headquarters on the way. This afternoon, he is scheduled to continue down Sukhumvit to the Asok rally site
Each stage has its own leaders and many are filled with protesters from particular parts of the country. At Lat Prao, for example, much of the crowd is from northeastern provinces and the local dialect is being used on the stage regularly.
